The used to call my father the “Teflon President” for his supposed ability to weather controversy or scandal without any of the negatives affecting the public’s perception of him. But compared to Barack Obama my dad was the Velcro president.

The leftist media and the cultural elites of this nation are so invested in the “success” of the Obama administration that scandals capable of generating a serious movement to impeach a lesser politician, simply don’t register with the Obama Protection Complex.

Back in 1988 the presidential campaign of Michael Dukakis was derailed by a single convict named Willie Horton who was granted a vacation from prison under a Dukakis policy and used the time off to commit a new rape and murder.

Compare that toll with the 121 murders committed in the United States by illegal aliens with criminal records who were released upon an unsuspecting citizenry. And this isn’t a paperwork error by some clerk in Carthage, Mo., that wanted to leave for home a little early one Friday.

This is a policy that emanates from Obama’s desk in the Oval Office. There is no ducking responsibility or blaming low–level staffers in Ohio, as was done with the continuing IRS scandal. Obama announced that since the Congress wouldn’t take marching orders from him on “immigration reform” and essentially use legislation to throw open the borders, he was going to do it with executive orders.

I believe his words were “I’ve got a phone and a pen.”

Unfortunately, the murderers had guns and knives. The Washington Times reports: “More than 100 immigrants whom the Obama administration released back into the community went on to be charged with subsequent killings, according to government data released Monday that raises more questions about whether immigration authorities are doing enough to detail illegal immigrants awaiting deportation.”

Obama assures the public his immigration polices are only attracting valedictorians and the Latin American equivalents of Thomas Edison. Letting them in regardless of legal status will give the administration the resources to focus on getting criminal aliens out of the country.

When the truth is the Obama administration puts the criminals in the country.

"In a statement Monday, ICE said that a criminal record isn’t enough to qualify for mandatory detention under agency policies.

“When making custody determinations, ICE performs an individualized review of the individual’s immigration history and criminal history, pursuant to the Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA),” the agency said. “In accordance with the requirements of the INA, not all criminals are subject to mandatory detention and thus may be eligible for bond.”

No one ever stops to ask why the administration is granting bond to criminal aliens that should not be here in the first place. Even worse no one is holding Obama accountable for the literal blood on his hands from this insane policy. Around the nation 121 families are mourning their dead thanks to Obama and no one cares enough to hold him accountable.
That’s real Teflon.
